Visa issues... and more???

If this news tragically turns out to be accurate, we at Son of Yhency are extremely concerned on what impact these developments may have, not only to Yhency's performance this year, but to the entire Dodgers' bullpen. For an unhealthy Yhency yields a weak bullpen. And we can't have that.

Even if this speculation proves to be false, what sort of psychological toll has it already taken on the team? These are the things I wonder about.

On December 13, 2003, the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled a coup d'etat in a single trade by swiftly ridding themselves of the Artist Formerly Known as Kevin Brown and landing an unknown Yhency Brazoban. One and a half year and an Eric Gagne blown elbow later, Yhency tempted his way straight to the Dodgers' closer role. Unfortunately, his stint as closer didn't last long, but his spirit is still strong, and it lives on in this blog. For I am the Son of Yhency. (Figuratively speaking, of course.)
